The Supreme Court reserved its order on a batch of petitions seeking a court-monitored probe into the procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets from France.The three-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph, said there was no need to share the pricing details of the jets with the petitioners at this stage and focused largely on the decision-making process and the choice of Anil Ambani firm Reliance Defence as the offset partner for the contract. Indian Air Force (IAF) officers were rushed to the court during the hearing. When the top court asked if there has been no induction of aircraft since 1985, the officers said "no". They told the bench that Sukhoi 30s is the latest to be inducted which is a 3.5 generation aircraft and said the IAF does not have fourth or fifth generation aircraft.

Taking a leaf out of Terry Pratchett’s book, let us paraphrase and declare, "To read Elon Musk's twitter timeline is to understand how thin the line is between genius and insanity as well as the fickle nature of celebrity." Once the golden boy of millennials, as well as techies and futurists of all age groups, recently Musk seems determined to propel his narrative into cautionary tale territory.
